  • @whenvaporsvanish I have to disagree with you on the brass frame revolvers. Brass is inherently softer than iron and way softer than good gun steel. i have owned them (a total of 5) ranging from Euro-arms, Navy Arms.Uberti and EMF. most .44 -45s can hold 38 grains of black powder. shoot that in the Pietta and see if it doesn't mash the brass

  • @whitethronebooks I knew that CVA imported barrels from Spain, but never a revolver from Itally. good info. Now i can't downplay really assume that only some ASMs are good or bad. The reason is that This ASM had problems mainly because i bought the gun used and it was abused a bit by its former owner(s).

  • @Tapps47 CVA never manufactured these. They imported them from Armi San Marco (now defunct) in Italy. Yours looks like a good one. Not all ASMs were good.

  • @Tapps47 The older brass Rems were a little weak. The current Pietta brassers are beefier.There is a kid on youtube who has been firing 30 grains in his, and the cylinder-to-barrel gap hasn't widened. I would keep the load under 25 grains in a brasser though.

  • @Tapps47 so I don't have to fear for the frame itself rusting if I don't take it apart after firing only a few shots? Or can that bit of residue getting inside the frame flash rust the internal mechanisms?

  • @Tapps47 one of the best things about blackpowder shooting is you don't need to but solvents! and no fumes either!

  • @lenthesniper Thanks. I (Darr) believe guns don't have to be complicated. Many people make it more so and i have no idea why.

  • not a bad group, nice gun and no nonsense advice from you too, thanks.
